Hi,
i’m pretty to new to Emulationstation and RetroPie. I’m stuck on a problem related to the joypad.

I have this pad:

http://www.rgdigital.it/rg_catalog/images/extra/large/IMG_5167Custom_VLSG7FpZ0K7W_large.jpg

It works like a charm, the only thing is that i can’t configure select+start as the exit button.
I’ve put

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"

in /opt/retropie/emulators/RetroArch/retroarch.cfg, but it doesn’t work.

I suppose that 8 and 9 are not select and start on my pad, but how can i discover what numbers are?
Thank you

[Giorgio]

UPDATE

I was wrong, the keys are correct but for some strange reason that combination doesn’t work with mame emulator, any hint?

When I started up I got No Gamepads detected.
I have an xbox attached with usb.

Also when I edit a file through ssh, I can’t change it because they are read only.

What is wrong?

giorgio, if you are using mame4all like i am, you select a specific key to get out of the emulator, press tab to go into input general and look for UI cancel, thats the one you want to change and it will take you back to emulationstation carousel.

I get the error “Coulnd’t open joystick #1”. My snes controller works on emulationstation but wont work in any game.

If anyone’s interested in including your saved games with your backups and don’t want to go manually searching for them (or even if you want an automated nightly backup for them), I’ve put together a step by step for syncing them with google drive. You can take a look, here.

Setting my memory split on a 512 b+ to anything above 256 causes Emulation Station to boot to a white screen. I have to ssh in and change it in the boot config.txt in order to get it to boot properly. I’ve searched high and low but can’t find anyone else with this. Happened on 2 pi’s from two sources with different brand SD cards. Any thoughts?
